Howden's TFC90 and TFC180 are standardized diaphragm compressor packages designed for hydrogen applications and sized for 5 MW and 10 MW electrolyzer modules. Each skid-mounted package integrates all process equipment, piping and auxiliary systems, so on-site deployment is fast and the standard design keeps costs and lead times down. Diaphragm compression suits high discharge pressures and large pressure differentials, and it keeps the gas free of contamination, so it fits high-purity duties such as fuel cell electric vehicle refueling, with no process gas leaking to the environment. Typical uses are hydrogen production plants, tube trailer filling, storage and refueling stations, backed by Howden Uptime predictive maintenance and a global service network.
